Just brought a deco lamp which run on DC 12 volt adptor and I wish to replace it on my wall lamp but I dont know what is the voltage (wall Lamp) & how to replace the dimmer which the power connected into my ELCB (DB).

Alternating/Direct Current converter. You can find them at Walmart in the automotive section or the home section depending on what kind you need.

There are two types of lamps being sold currently; I have a 28 volt lamp which has of course a 28 bolt bulb and runs off of a variable in line transformer.
Normal household lamps require 120 Volts and plug into any houehold outlet. Nothing further is required.
Your question is not really coherent enough to give you a good answer. Whatever you purchase must have some written information with it.
If you want to run a 12 volts bulb from a 120 volt power line, you must have a voltage dropping Transformer.
You use words like Deco Lamp and Wall Lamp. Not good enough. Use words when you ask a question. Not symbols nor letters.

You need 120V to 12 Vdc adapter in the space behind the existing lamp. (2x4 inch box).
I'm sure it won't fit.
1- The power (120 Vac) is already there and you have to connect it to the input side of the Adapter.
2- You need to connect the 12 Vdc output side of the adapter to the new deco lamp.
I don't think the adapter will fit unless you are good at making a big hole in the wall and building in the new voltage supply then finishing up the mess and repainting. [not hardly worth all the trouble].

You don't say how much current you need at the 1000 volts. Or do you mean the equivalent of 5x12=60 watts? that would be 60/1000 = 60 mA at 1000 volts, and allowing for losses in poorly designed equipment, 30 mA. Or would you be happy with 1 mA at 1000 volts, a lot easier. Assuming the first, you need a chopper circuit capable of handling 60 watts. I'd use a pair of push-pull power transistors on a heat sink. Drive them with a 60 Hz source. Now you need to wind your own power transformer, with 24 volts center tapped as the primary and 1000 volts (or more) on the secondary. It needs to be rated at at least 60 VA. I can help on the circuitry, but transformer design is complicated. edit, re the transformer, I'd find a transformer with 24VCT as a secondary, and remove the primary, counting the turns. Put on a new replacement winding of 12 times as many turns of finer wire.

Is it a halogen bulb? I,m kinda leery of those things due to the heat they put out.

if it has a UL label or the original bulb then the specs are there ( your ? wasn't entirely clear )
